Oh I've conjured a few nouns in my time. When I can't think of the real word I make one up. Is that conjuring?

I believe the term you are looking for is conjugated verb, not a "conjured noun".

  • "to conjugate" (conjugar, in Spanish) means to change the form of a verb or to inflect a verb. As in: "When conjugated in the first person present tense, the verb 'jugar' becomes 'juego'."
  • "to conjure" (conjurar, in Spanish) means to bring about by magic. As in: "The witch conjured a spell to turn the prince into a frog."

A noun cannot be conjugated, although the form of a noun may change based on factors such as amount (pickle vs. pickles) and gender (comedian vs. comedienne).


If you have a verb you wish to conjugate, I suggest typing it into here.

I don't think that Spanish either needs or has conjured nouns, since I assume that if they have died they have no interest in getting a medium and speaking to them.

Interesting connection though between "conjugated" and "conjured" - ian-hill, Aug 26, 2013
I agree, ian! And I got a good chuckle out of your answer, jubilado. ^_^ - AlyssaLTerry, Aug 26, 2013
